It's just an ad 😂

this video is just an advertisement. actually newbiews would suffer on touring board as all around board is best for starting. this is a sales pitch. I down voted the video for clickbait.

@@OscarHanzelynot true! There is a growing number of “kneel down” paddle boarders most who use cheap Costco/Amazon paddle boards. These boards because of their poor internal structure are very unstable. Touring boards come in different shapes and sizes some are very stable. You can choose to ignore information from a company that has been dealing with paddle boards, and delivering instruction, since the beginning, or you can choose your own confirmation bias.

@@virtual-atcit’s a true story. Touring boards are way better.

Glad you are having fun on the water. That’s important. If you haven’t tried a touring board it’s hard to understand what you’re missing. Better tracking, better glide, better stability. The number of “kneel down” paddle boarders I see on the water these days has increased dramatically with number of cheap “air mattress” type paddle boards that offer poor stability. A women recently attended a Coast Outdoors demo, after paddling a quality touring board she was shocked at how much better it was than her $400 Amazon board. “I just thought that was what paddle boarding was like”

I got a 10.6 ft touring board from amazon less than 2 weeks ago it cost £127.00 and I got 3 years accidental damage cover through amazon for £12.70 it says u can claim 3 times in 12 months , I've taken it out every day bar 2 cold ones and it's great I love it much better than the all round 9ft one it's faster and more stable and didn't break the bank either just get a cheapo with cover and they have to keep sending new ones I've crashed into the river bank every day aswell and still holding up 😅

😳 was that board priced over $2,000!?!?

@@Atheist81 the touring board he showed costs aniwhere from $1000 to $1700 Canadian dollars. definitely not a newbie board.

Well, you can do whatever you like, but engaging your bigger abdominal muscles with core crunch and legs helps you generate more power. As opposed to just standing up and using your arms. All the women featured in the video are strong paddlers and race for fun and fitness. Learning good forward stroke technique is like developing a good golf swing. It’s a life long endeavor. But if you like to just float around and relax that’s ok too.

When we talk about 'You get what you pay for,' it's often true with our higher priced boards at Coast Outdoors.

@DeepCoveKayakCentre Yes, I agree that sometimes higher priced means better quality. There is also a limit to that, with the "law of diminishing returns". I prefer to buy when the quality levels off at the lowest price. Not talking about your products, just speaking in general. For example, a bicycle for $10,000 isn't 10 times better than a bike for $1000. The best bike for the money is probably around $2000. That's all I was getting at. Using that example because I understand bikes better than SUPs.
